The dominant religion of Veldmere before The Fall, and still the most widespread faith among humans. It venerates a single deity or concept, the manifestation of Law, known the Lawgiver, the Throne Eternal, the Light Above, the Architect, ad more.

The Faith teaches that Chaos is the Adversary, the principle of unmaking. Some theologians personify this as a dark deity; others maintain it is merely a force like rot or entropy. The faithful call their god by many titles rather than a true name, believing naming the divine is presumptuous.

Before the Fall, the High Faith was organized hierarchically: the Archpriest in Sorvel, bishops in each region, priests in parishes, monks and nuns in orders. The Church's law ran alongside the king's law, blessing the throne and receiving royal protection. Nearly every human followed the Faith, or a version of it.

After the Fall, the hierarchy shattered. The high patriarch was in the capital when it fell; no successor was universally recognized. Now each bishop operates independently—some maintaining old doctrine strictly, others drifting toward heresy or corruption. Monasteries have become isolated islands of faith. The Purifiers, Restorationists, and Archivists represent different visions for what the Church should become.

The High Faith still holds that Law must triumph, that Chaos must be opposed. Few within it understand that this very conviction caused the Fall. Those who suspect the truth keep quiet, fearing what it would mean for their faith.

The faithful practice regular services, prayer to the Lawgiver for guidance and protection, observance of holy days, confession and penance for sins against Law, tithing to support the Church. Clerics channel divine power and can heal wounds, turn undead, oppose Chaos directly.

Relations with the Old Ways are officially tolerated as folk superstition, unofficially viewed with suspicion. Chaos worship is absolutely forbidden, all Chaos cults are enemies to be destroyed. The Church blessed the throne; the throne protected the Church. With no throne, this relationship is in limbo. Regional bishops work with local nobles, blessing their rule in exchange for support.
